Greetings from Montecito!

Yes, we are crashing the wedding of the millennium. Not really, but we crave undeserved fame, too! Where’s that blasted hidden videotape? It was supposed to be leaked last week!

Not really, but Doris Day, 87, has a new album out. She reports that she would not want to be in the movie business nowadays. Amen! Go away already! The only real KK is Keira Knightley. Maybe Kyle Kaenel.

OK, Keira Knightley > Kyle Kaenel by open lengths, and here’s your free ones:

Rundown
Saratoga Race Course 9, 10, 11
Calder 6, 11, 13
Del Mar Thoroughbred Club 2, 7, 10

Wait till the last three at the Ancient Spa.

Pay-side:

Rundown
Monmouth 2, 6, 8
Woodbine 5, 9, 10
Arlington 3, 5, 8
Louisiana 1, 2, 9
Remington 5, 6, 8
Retama 6

Really good today at Bossier City today, in particular Race 9. Awesome once more at the Remington in OKC.

Nocturnal Submission: If it stays on the turf, Race 6 at Evangeline (8:55 p.m. EDT / 5:55 p.m. PDT) can put the third choice on the morning line into the winner’s circle: #6 Rare Flyer. …Open in the sixth at Fairmount (10:46 / 7:46), #1 Strong N Tune is another candidate for the mild upset. …

Thank you. Bye-bye.
